Merged and geo-referenced bathymetric raster from AUV MBES surveys during SONNE cruise SO242/1

This dataset is a bathymetric raster (GeoTIFF, UTM 16S) with a 2 x 2 m resolution merged from three different AUV MBES surveys (Abyss192 - SO242/1_047-1; Abyss193 - SO242/1_060-1; Abyss194 - SO242/1_069-1) conducted during cruise SO242_1 with the German RV SONNE. It includes the entire DEA in the center and extends towards a mountain area NE of the DEA. The provided raster is corrected for lateral and vertical offsets based on the ship-acquired MBES (Kongsberg EM122 mounted in RV SONNE) dataset (https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.905579) as reference layer.
